The so-called "Way of Having Guests" is essentially a principle for measuring whether one's efforts are appropriate in interpersonal relationships: how people get along with each other is not about how much is given, but whether the effort is made willingly and can keep the relationship relaxed and harmonious. If a task is completed voluntarily and happily, making both parties feel comfortable, that is the right path; but if one side gives and feels wronged, resentful, or pressured, causing the relationship to become tense and draining, then even if the initial intention was good, it should be adjusted or stopped in time. The truly appropriate way to interact according to the Way of Having Guests is to respect each other's feelings, avoid over-sacrifice, and not complain about exchanging efforts, so that the relationship is built on voluntariness and balance.
